I am thinking that my 146 opty at 2.9ghz would perform simarly to whatever i could get out of an oc'd 3800+ but im not sure how important dual core is now-a-days. the 3800+ are now about 85 bucks or so and the rig in my sig will eventually, within 6 months, will be shifted to my htpc so I am thinking the dual core might be useful for eventual hd or blue ray drives/encoding. with games i think i am bottlenecked with my 850xt but only stalker is not playable with dynamic lighting, if that is not on there is no problem. Will crysis use dual core processes like stalker does?
